Discord, The Goddess of

Discord, The Goddess of, a mischief-making divinity, daughter of
Night and sister of Mars, who on the occasion of the wedding of Thetis
with Peleus, threw into the hall where all the gods and goddesses were
assembled a golden apple inscribed “To the most Beautiful,” and which
gave rise to dissensions that both disturbed the peace of Olympus and the
impartial administration of justice on earth. See Paris.
